Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the RNA polymerase I preinitiation complex assembly pathway is significantly associated with the RNA expression of multiple genes, with the GBM cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated genes across cancer lineages are HELLS, MEF2C, and DTL, each associated with the pathway in up to 6 cancer types. Since the analysis shows associations rather than directional relationships, both pathway-to-partner and partner-to-pathway views are reported.
Each partner is linked to its corresponding Q-omics profile. The scatter plot shows the strongest association, RNA polymerase I preinitiation complex assembly activity versus HELLS in GBM (Pearson r = 0.30).
